Dog carrying solutions or suggestions?

[JJZ109]

Hi all,

How do you pooch transporting owners go about protecting the back seats from dog-borne mud? - I haven't seen any rear seat covers for 997 coupes online?

Also, if anyone can recommend a decent restraint strap (preferably with photos of it in use) for a 12kg dog I'd be grateful. In my other stuff we use caribeners clipped onto headrest supports, but obvously this won't work in a 997.....

Our little hound is only 8kg. I use a harness that he wears to which a special seat belt attachment is clipped and plugged into the seatbelt clasp.

I generally just use towels or blankets to protect the trim.

If it's a muddy walk we go in the old X5!

My dog is 27kg. I just take the seat bases out and put a blanket over the uprights. Holidays I just take all the seats out. Get a decent walking harness (I have ruffwear) and clip him in with the seatbelt clip. I use 2 on a long journey.

We use this bed https://smile.amazon.co.uk/FRISTONE...&qid=1651258451&sprefix=dog+car,aps,67&sr=8-4

For Milly who weighs 8Kg it fits perfectly...you need to do a bit of sewing to alter the strap lengths so they fit snuggly around the back seat rests, but it's really comfortable for Milly and she loves coming in the car with us.

Yes, have them in the back off the 911 and in the back of the golf. Fit well, top layer is the fabric, then padding and a waterproof inner layer. Maybe not the cheapest but they are good. We put our mini dachshund in a dog car seat in the back, the car seat sits on a cut block of foam that levels out the area vs the rest of the seats. He can see out the window and is happy, getting him in and out is a little awkward though.

Thank you - I think I'll get one ordered up.
